Take a look below. I think it shows ways of getting to before the 'x' and the 2 digits after the 'x'. There may be more elegant solutions, but this one appears to work.

Code:
> echo $val1
ts1n65ulpa4096x16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
> echo $val1 | cut -c11-
4096x16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
> echo $val1 | cut -c11- | cut -d"x" -f1
4096
> echo $val1 | cut -c11- | cut -d"x" -f2
16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
> echo $val1 | cut -c11- | cut -d"x" -f2 | cut -c1-2
